Post pictures of the largest car accident you have if you have pictures or want to pull the memories back about it.
and i'll start with AU2 Falcon, fell asleep 80kmh rd large pole just jumped right out in front of me, learnt my lesson the hard way. Snapped right foot in half, massive whiplash, bruising so hard from the seat belt that it drew blood. I was only 17 when this happened.

Don't have pics, but my mint VN SS which I had bought as a deceased estate was involved. Was like brand new 6 years ago. Just had new tyres put on(won't say brand) had the front ones blow at slow speed in town, were replaced free of charge. Going over the westgate in the wet, the rear right blew just as you come off the bridge Melbourne bound. Car rear end come out, I hit an armco barrier at around 90 km/h rear drivers passenger side. The centre pillar had a 8 inch gap between the passenger front and rear doors the car twisted that badly. Needless to say it was a write off. When the tyres were looked at it was found something in the sidewall had failed. Which is part of why I now refuse to use cheap tyres such as maxxis etc

Another one... i nearlly died in an accident at the paddocks behind my joint in 2000. but i lost a good friend. if it had happend 2-5mins alter, it woulda been me. (no pics of this one) car rolled a few times. and yeah... you get the point.
dont worry, il start a ride thread soon.
Only had one crash, a van hit us when it overtook on the left. It was a wide road, and there was traffic coming, and he must have been in a hurry, so yeah went around us on the left hand side, hit us on the way through as he was going back in the center of the lane.

SIR LS1
the two ton go kart
anyone else like taking pictures of their car crashes?
didn't get pictures but the biggest i had was in the bunnings carpark, chucked it in reverse and pulled out and this old dude came down the strip heaps fast.
left me with no rear bumper and he got a dent down the side from the front wheel arch to the back of his car (shows how fast he was coming)
i pulled out infront of a honda civic, that was tailgating a commodore , she was doing ( claimed) 60, 13 thousand dollar damage to her car, my car dident have insurance i only had third party so i dident bother asking for a repair, but it was bad enuf to have the front clipped ppushed around the other side so i couldent open the passenger door, if i pulled out as fast as i usually do i woulda lost an arm. strange feeling watching somones head hit there steering wheel as there passenger airbag goes off........

No pictures for me either, was the last thing on my mind.
I actually haven't had an accident but my car copped a good hit.
It was parked in my driveway, we live at the bottom of a steep street, the old guy decided he would drive his motorhome, when he barely had the strength to move himself. Got to the bottom of the hill, didn't brake - straight into the back of my car, pushed it about 2m, only really damaged the rear.
I got up hearing my alarm going off, looked outside, turned the alarm off and went back to bed.
The old guy tried to get out of it, saying I was illegally parked. But really he should have been thankful he hit the car, if he didn't hit my car he was either going into my garage or into the neighbours bedroom.
My first car. This is what happens when a car cuts in front of you, then hits the gutter and stops dead
My second car. This is what happens when you encounter oil on a straight road!
And my second car again. This is what happens when old ladies tow big trailers in small cars. Safe stopping distances, grandma! The cosmetic damage isn't so bad, but the subframe was twisted badly.

Don't have any pics, but march last year hit a massive roo at about 90 kph in my holden apollo, bonnet had a dent across it that was pushed in about 30 cm into the motor (caused the windscreen washer bottle to crack, but no other damage to the top of the motor), windscreen was cracked, radiator was pushed back into the motor, bumper was pretty much gone, headlights were smashed, all up $5500 worth of damage
My Ride: 02 VX Exec II, 192.2 rwhp v6, black

No pics sorry
It was 17yrs ago when I rolled a dato 1600 at least 6 times up hill & ending up in a front garden 4 feet from a bedroom wall. With 2 people in bed. Just me in car. No seatbelt possibly saving life. Injuries were only 17 stitches in deep gash in back, just missed kidnies, 5 stitches in big toe & 9 in right knee. You could ride a skateboard up the bonnet after woulds. I was young & stupid, But what away to learn to drive a manule
A simple message to ford owners,
Ok STEWY now
I've only ever been involved in one crash... Hopefully it'll be my last. Avoided hitting a kangaroo on a country road, the end result was me rolling the car 2 and a half times and landing in a dry creek bed.
In the creek
The aftermath
The pictures don't really give a good indication how far the roof collapsed on the drivers side, but sitting in the drivers seat after the crash was near impossible, I'm pretty lucky to not be in a wheelchair or dead.
Was in the passengers seat of my dad's VY SS (dad driving). He took off quickly at a cross intersection to get across before the on coming traffic. There was loose gravel on the road we were going across and back wheels lost traction (cheap tyres) through us to the otherside of the road where there was more gravel which through us back over to the other side of the road, off the road and into a power pole. Car was written off. Dad broke his arm. I just had sore shoulder/neck from whiplash and sore knees as they both went through the dash.
Such a waste, was in such good condition. (which the insurance company actually acknowledged and gave him 4 grand more than market value which was pretty good of them)

my first car.. only happend like 1 month ago.. a guy ran a stop sign and cut me off, i didn't have enough time to stop :\
although on the brightside, noone was hurt, and i got my holden now :]
altho it was an expensive lesson, i geuss it had to happen eventually...
I didn't try and drift on straight roads lol.
Nah a roo up ahead, I swerved, slammed on the brakes and there was gravel all over the road. Almost regathered but slid to the edge of the road about 10-15kmh. Its just a shame beyond the edge of the road was a 5m drop into a creek lol.
My car wasn't "fully sick" enough for drifting. Clearly I did not have the body kit to pull off such manouvers
In NZ you're too busy shagging sheep to be driving anyway. Or is that just another useless stereotype?
There is a whole thread on mine, but I won't bother bringing it up again.
Basiclly a truck came around the corner with a load of 6 meter by 100mm square steel tube which wasn't tied down and I happened to collect the whole lot as it came off the truck. Only injury was a slight carpet burn from the air bag.
Pics of the repair process, total damage bill was around $15,000

nice one troy.
I don't have pics, but have had my fair share of 'accidents' lol
I put my first car on it's side, was a cruiser ute, being stupid and made the wrong decision (zero injuries). Second car, commdore ute, put that into a block of concrete at 70km/h, I had no seatbelt on, so i figure that when the car stopped instantly, my face hit the steering wheel at 70 lol smashed my nose, both my lips swollen and full of blood, all front teeth went black, but didn;t fall out thank christ. 3rd car, VT sedan (now my drag car lol) I swerved to miss my mate on a motorbike, he bounced off the left side and scored some gravel rash, i had to swerve again, but caught a steel power pole with the front left wheel, ironed the side of the car flat from front to back. That would have to be THE scariest one, cause I thought I killed my mate.
Na its not we love sheep here LOL, but seriously there are very few people in NZ that own skylines and don't think they're a professional drifter. if you youtube nz skyline i'm sure you'll find thousands of so called pro drifters. But as for R33 Skylines they are wayyyy better than R32 which is the common pro drifter car round here.
